Each set can be leased for K different periods of time.Let |U| = n and |F| = m. Leasing a set S for a period k incurs a cost ckS and allows S to cover its elements for the next lk time steps. The objectiveis to minimize the total cost of the sets leased, such that elements arrivingat any time t are covered by sets which contain them and are leased duringtime t. Anthony et al. [1] gave an optimal O(log n)-approximation forthe problem in the offline setting, unless P = NP [22]. In this paper, wegive randomized algorithms for variants of Set Cover Leasing in the onlinesetting, including a generalization of Online Set Cover with Repetitionspresented by Alon et al. [2], where elements appear multiple times andmust be covered by a different set at each arrival. Our results improve theO(log2(mn)) competitive factor of Online Set Cover with Repetitions [2]to O(log d log(dn)) = O(logmlog(mn)), where d is the maximum numberof sets an element belongs to."}],"has_accepted_license":"1","project":[{"_id":"1","name":"SFB 901"},{"name":"SFB 901 - Subprojekt A1","_id":"5"},{"name":"SFB 901 - Project Area A","_id":"2"}],"publication":"Proceedings of the 8th Annual International Conference on Combinatorial Optimization and Applications (COCOA)","date_updated":"2022-01-06T06:59:36Z","type":"conference","series_title":"LNCS","citation":{"ieee":"S.
